A review of interference phenomena caused by a new radiative process, a spontaneous and stimulated transfer of optical coherence (polarization), in absorption, emission, refraction, and scattering spectra. The phenomena are considered using an example of the polarization transfer in spectral doublets and triplets.

Abstract\nWe consider a dual ?-system under double laser excitation to investigate the possibility of indirect coherence transfer between atomic ground states through an excited state. The atomic system is excited by a frequency modulated pump laser and probed by a low-power cw laser. All the decoherence mechanisms are discussed and taken into account. Adjustment of parameters of the two radiations aimed at maximization of coherence transfer is addressed. The study can help to understand phenomena as collisional transfer of coherence and can find application in the experimental realization of atomic sensors.
